When You Walk Into a School or Classroom Sights Sounds Smells Interactions
All tell you something about the way the teacher works.
It’s not unlike walking into a business or a restaurant.

The Issue is Reflection
The effective teacher is always intentional. Don’t let the conditions control you –
control the conditions as best you can. He/She asks how will this physical
environment effect my students? Does this seating arrangement stress
order, allow for activities, create community?

A Transformative Process
In teaching we get people together to learn.
From tutoring to large lecture, both student and teacher learn from the teaching process.

What do we mean by “teaching methods”?

Learning Theory Disclaimer
Many learning theorists have worked hard and discovered patterns of teaching and learning that are worthy of study. This does not mean that we accept or reject them without reflection upon our Christian perspective.

Some Theory
B.F. Skinner – Behaviorism Outcome-Based Education Systems Theory
Knowledge Construction Transformational Teaching
![Page 14: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Behaviorism
B.F. Skinner Dominated American Education Humans are just a bundle of stimulus-
response Some important things were developed.
Behavioral Objectives Shaping – Breaking a task into components.

Systems Theoryand Outcome-Based Education
The behavioral model
Inputs Outputs (Outcomes)
In cognitive learning approaches the evidence seems to indicate that there is much more going on inside the learner.

Systems Theoryand Outcome-Based Education
The cognitive model
Inputs Outputs (Outcomes)
This makes sense if you study developmental psychology but in its extreme (humanistic) form the learner becomes the arbiter of all truth. While we must be very careful here, we must consider the learner’s individual traits and prior knowledge. Jesus did this without compromising his message.

The Lesson Plan
A detailed plan for a single lesson, usually 20-50 minutes long depending on the level of the students.
Lesson vs. Activity
![Page 23: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Plan
Lesson Plans are designed to help us deliver needed information, skills, understandings, feelings, and perspective to our learners.
This is how we teach them. This is how we empower them. UNDERSTANDING is power.
![Page 24: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How One Begins Makes All the Difference How things look How relaxed, warm, ready you are
How well you have planned What happens first The first things you say and do

Elements of the Lesson PlanMadeline Hunter
1. Specific Objective(s) based on previous Diagnosis and learner traits.
2. Anticipatory Set which helps students Perceive the Lesson Purpose
3. Learning Activities /Opportunities4. Modeling5. Check for Understanding (usually through)
Guided Practice6. Independent Practice (also known as
homework)

Presentation Skills “Teaching is more than telling.”
Even though clarity is basic it will not sustain you or your students.
Getting and holding students attention depends on certain things that you can develop and improve

Direct Instruction and “Chunking”
Alternation of Instruction / Reflection Rule of Thumb – One minute of direct
instruction for each year of age.

Discussion Strategies
Each has a slightly different purpose. Discussions must be planned not a
substitute for a planned lesson. Facilitating discussions is an art and a
science

Discovery Learning
Students learn best by doing Associated with open classrooms Real familiar and unfamiliar materials
used as manipulatives Often problem-solving approach
How do you make green paint?
![Page 35: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Inquiry Training
Teaching students how to ask questions and carry out research
Critical thinking approach Questions and hypotheses
What happens if you drop raisins into water?
![Page 36: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Role Playing Problem or dilemma Roles and techniques must be taught
to a great degree Getting into and “living” the role Choose role players carefully Students can expand their
understanding of the issue Cognitive and affective goals
![Page 37: Understanding Each Other. How People Learn Using Basic Learning Theory to Enhance Your Teaching](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e3a5503460f94b2c456/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Simulation Like a roleplay but more “gamelike”
Rules, tokens, time limits Monopoly, Risk, The Game of Life
Simulation kits available Zoo, Dinosaur, King Lexicon, Shopping Spree,
Classroom City, etc. City building
